Parking at the Library

The Library is located in the center of
town, on North Main Street (Route 28) at
the intersection of Elm, Main and
Central Streets (also known as Elm
Square). Other streets surrounding the
library are Pearson Street and Essex
Street.

There is a large, Pay By Space parking lot
behind the library. Entrances to the lot
are on Essex Street and Pearson Street.

The parking lot is owned,
controlled, and policed by the Town
of Andover, not the library.

The parking system is Pay By
Space. Simply note the number of
your parking space, walk to the
kiosks in the middle of the parking
lot, pay for that space, and walk
away. You don't have to return to
your vehicle to display a receipt. A
few things to keep in mind:

The machine does not give change

You select the amount of time
BEFORE paying

It costs $.25 per half hour, or
$.50 per hour to park in the lot

You can for for up to 4 hours
($2)

You can pay by coins, one dollar
bills or credit/debit card

Your receipt shows how much time
you have left

Hours of operation - Monday
through Saturday, 8am-6pm, no
Sundays or holidays

In the event that the library
parking lot is full, there is street
parking on Elm, Central, Essex, and
Pearson Streets. Most of this
parking is for two hours.

BankNorth and Bank of America
have graciously offered to let you
use their parking lots on Sundays
and in the evenings when our lots
are full because of events at the
library. Entrances to both bank lots
are on Central Street.

Access for Visitors With Disabilities

The rear entrance to the library is
wheelchair accessible. Handicapped
van and auto parking is available in the
lot behind the library.
If
you have a handicapped placard, you can
park anywhere in the lot, not just
handicapped spaces, for as long as you
want, and not pay for the parking.
